Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 568 Seal of Love and Memories

Chapter 568 Seal of Love and Memories

568 Seal of Love and Memories

Rias closed her eyes after kissing Rudy and said, "Go ahead. I am ready."

"I… love you… Rias. And I will love you in every timeline."

"I love you too."

Rudy circled his finger on Rias' forehead and said, "First seal."

He then tapped inside the circle and said, "Second seal."

At last, he kissed her on the lips and muttered, "Third… seal…"

The moment Rudy placed the third seal, Rias' body became lifeless. Seemingly, she had pa.s.sed out.

Rudy picked her up in his arms and bit her lips to try his best to hold his tears.

'I know we will meet again, but still… it hurts… dammit…'

He carried Rias outside the house and handed her to Nyxia.

"Please take care of her."

"I will."

Nyxia stared into Rudy's teary eyes and said, "Let's meet again."

"Yeah…"

"And where would that be?" she asked.

"In the headmaster's office at the Vampire Academy. During the red moon week after nineteen years."

"Understood," she nodded and flew through the portal, which soon closed after a few seconds.

Rudy now knew exactly why Nyxia was at the Vampire Academy at that time. And even though Jane had asked her, she answered that she was there to meet the headmaster, but Rudy later found out that the headmaster was on leave for a week.

So there was no way someone who was on leave 2 days before could call Jane exactly when she had come to the vampire academy with Rudy.

"I… just realized something…"

Rudy teleported to his house and fell asleep, but he woke up on time and took Jessica to school, where he met Elena at the gate.

"Hey…" She greeted him with a flushed face. "Last night was something else."

"Yes." he smiled wryly.

"What's wrong? You look exhausted. Did you not get enough sleep?"

"No, I did. I slept well."

"You are hiding something. I have known you for long enough to read your patterns." Elena squinted her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Rias… left."

"What?"

"She… she returned to the vampire world."

"What?!" Elena exclaimed. "How could she just leave without informing any of us!"

"I sent her there," he stated in a lifeless voice.

"Why would you do that? She was so happy when she was with you!"

"I had no other choice. That's how it was supposed to happen. I cannot change what has already happened in the past for the future me in the present."

"I have no idea what you are trying to say, but are you okay? Because you don't look okay."

"I am… not okay. I don't know why this is happening at this time. I have been enduring it just fine all this time. But… I think I can't anymore. I am having a mental breakdown."

Elena couldn't bear to look at the painful expression on Rudy's face, so without caring for anything, she kissed him on the lips and hugged him tightly.

But she later thought doing that in front of the school gate, where everyone could see them, wasn't exactly a good idea. So she asked Rudy to take them to the school's rooftop by the water tank.

No one came to the rooftop as it was an elementary school, and the kids were restricted from going to the rooftop. Besides, the door was locked, and only teachers could come there.

Elena had no teaching cla.s.ses until recess, so she could spend time with Rudy without worrying about anything.

"Hey…" She rubbed his back and said, "I might not be enough for you, but I am always there for you. You pretend to be adult and mature, but come on… you are just a teenager who has all these responsibilities on your head.

You don't have to live like that. I have been trying to say this, but…" Elena bit her lips and said, "I think you should move on from your past life. It's holding you back. This universe is different, and you have done well.

You have already saved their lives. Don't stress yourself over it. We are the same; I also think every opportunity is my responsibility, and when I fail at that, I blame myself. I have no right to say this to you, but… you have no need to worry about the people who don't matter to you.

Your harem loves you, and they are with you… well, not right now, but they are. Stop worrying about others. I will do the same. I will try my best to be there for you. So Rudy… let's enjoy our time together."

"..." Rudy hugged Elena back and said, "I may be a teenager, but I was an adult in my past life."

"You are a young adult who has just finished university. It's no different than finis.h.i.+ng high school. You just had a little more experience, and that's all. You may have unimaginable power, but don't forget that you are still a kid compared to many other adults."

"Then you are a kid too."

Elena chuckled and said, "But I am teaching kids while you are… making kids."

"Oh, come on. None of my harem members are pregnant yet."

"Do you do something?" she asked hesitantly.

"Well, most of my harem members are still young— as in, like between nineteen to twenty-three. The vampire gang is not, but it's complicated for them."

Rudy laid down on his back and looked at the sky before saying, "You know, last night, I realized something."

Elena also lay beside Rudy and asked, "And that is?"

"In 2008, Rias wasn't telling Jane that she was aware of everything, which wasn't like Rias. Usually, she would go mad and confront Jane immediately, but she didn't even though she had so many chances to do that.

I.. got annoyed at her for doing that and asked her why she wasn't telling. To which she got angry at me in return. However, now I realized that she was simply stalling."

"Stalling what?"

"Well, Rias already knew about my relations.h.i.+p with Jane and about my harem, as I told her in this timeline, so she was lying to me about how she caught onto that. Rias didn't tell Jane because she was waiting for me to remember everything— to time travel to 1989— as she was aware of the risks of telling me. It was all a misunderstanding."

"But that's not your fault because you didn't know anything either."

"Yup."

Rudy and Elena stared at the sky but avoided looking at the sun.

"Rudy."

"Hmm?"

"Can I request something?"

"Sure."

"I want to have your child."
